[The 'gear turns on in the interior of Matt Holt's room of the Sevii Island house. On the bed, specifically. Because there are two very round, very pleased Spheals there, snuggled up to one another.]

[And a pile of eggs.]

[Six eggs.]

[While the two's trainers sit next to each other, just, staring woefully at the pile. Then at each other. Then back at the pile. It's the kind of In-Unison movement that very close people can pull off.]

Anyone want a spheal? [Shiro asks, somewhat resigned.]

We have six! [That was Matt. More helpfully.]

((ooc: responses will be from either Matt or Shiro!))

[It took him a moment to look up what they are but yeah that's adorable.]

I'll take one, if you're offering.

Thank you, Harry.

Neither of us expected this to happen... which you can... probably tell.

I did get that idea from the message.

At least you found them before they hatched. And the place is filled with people who seem to be always looking for new pokemon.

Kerberos and Europa were worried about us, I guess.

[And then compensated.]

Yeah -- good point. They're good little pokemon, though.

That's sweet of them. In an odd pokemon way.

I'm sure you'll find them good homes then.

Or do you plan to keep any yourself? Start a round pokemon seal army?

[Matt peeks over Shiro's shoulder.]

There are enough round pokemon on this island. Maybe we'll keep one, but we don't need six more balls around here.

Fair point. Well like I said. I'll take one off your hands. I've been meaning to actually pay more attention to the pokemon training aspect of the world now that I'm back.

Before, I mostly just travelled with my daughter and Henry.

At least one needs to go to another home, but... that still leaves five.

Four, after you take one.

Getting lower already. You'll have them in good homes in no time.

Man, it seems like everyone's pokemon are having babies.

The things your pokemon get up to when you're unconscious will probably surprise you.

We really shouldn't add more rolling things to the island, so.

Aww... does that mean I can't get one then? What if I'm planning on leaving the island?

You can have one! I wasn't all that serious.

... you're leaving?

[Oh. Right. He hadn't mentioned his plan to anyone yet. Whoops!

Hunk gives Shiro a rather sheepish smile.]

Uhm, yeah, I've decided that sometime this month I'm gonna leave the island to go explore and stuff. While I'm pretty sure I don't wanna be a breeder, I feel like I gotta do something, you know? It'd be kinda lame for me to spend my entire time in this world just being a beach bum after all.

Hey, you're allowed to do what you want to, here. We're not fighting a war while we're here.

[Something he's trying to remember, every day.]

And you can always come back. Whenever you want to. Just... keep in touch?

[Not to say he WANTS to see Hunk go. But he's here. He'll be safer out there than back where they came from.]

Of course! After all, you're probably the only one who would be able to bail my butt outta pokejail or something.

[His tone is definitely a teasing one. He's not Lance. The chances of Hunk ending up in jail are slim to none.

Well... Maybe more like 25%. He did almost get stuck into a lifetime of food court servitude.]

You? In pokemon jail?

I'd be completely shocked, man.

[And hey, he would be. All things considered -- if this were almost anyone else out on their own, he'd be more hesitant.]

[But Hunk's got it covered.]

If Lance were here I'm pretty sure you'd thinking differently.

[Hunk gives a soft laugh, except it doesn't sound as cheerful as it should.]

Anyways, if it's cool for me to get one of the Spheal eggs, I'd love to have a little roly poly buddy.

Only because you'd be trying to bail him out before we even got there.

[He's sorry, man. He wishes you had your best buddy here too.]

Absolutely. I'll put an egg in your room for you.

oh gosh...

i SHOULDN'T want one
but ever since I saw a stuffed version in the Goldenrod department store...i've been kind of wanting to find one!

Well We've got at least three more.

ahhhhhhhh

I know i'll regret it if i don't!
so i'll take one! how much do you want for it?

How... much? You don't have to pay.

what?? really? are you sure?

I can ask Matt, but. I don't think we had any plans to charge for them.

wow, geez! that's so nice of you!
can i at least send you something in return?
some cookies, or brownies, or cupcakes...???

[Somehow -- despite being here so long now, the notion of getting food like that is still worthy of an internal "!!!!"]

We would turn none of those things down. Are you sure?

absolutely sure!! i love baking anyway, and it's a great way to make new friends!

It sure seems that way. And... yeah. Yeah, we'd definitely appreciate the food.

well, then, a trade is a trade! i'll send you a tin of assorted chocolate deliciousness, and in return i'll take one of your sweet little babies!!

Thank you so much! We all appreciate it.
